Interesting. I never experienced something like this on my desktop. Actually I always wondered why people are bothered by windows 10 updates at all, because for me it was maximail a bit disturbing.

My xps notebook with windows 10 OTOH, well, it's actually close to a nightmare. I bought it late 2019 and had multiple on occasions the machine decided to WAKE UP from sleep a hour after midnight and running the update Procedere without shutting down. If it was in the sleeve I was greeted by a very very hot notebook at the morning with almost no battery left.

It took a while to turn this of.

I've had a similar nightmare on a laptop. Every once in a while it would wake up randomly to do a Windows Update. But since the lid is closed, the laptop would overheat and shutdown in the middle of the update. When I came to use it it would waste an hour or two removing the broken update. After a couple such incidents I just installed Debian instead.

This is even worse.

For the record; I tried lots of stuff but I think this german post was the solution: https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/universal-orchestr...
